ووصل الخبر بهذه الوقائع كلها إلى منطاش في خامس عشر ذي القعدة، فقامت قيامة منطاش لما سمع هذه الأخبار. وأخذ منطاش في تجهيز الملك المنصور حاجي للسفر لبلاد الشام لقتال الملك الظاهر برقوق، وأمر الوزير موفق الدين بتجهيز ما يحتاج إليه السلطان، فلم يجد في الخزانة ما يجهز به السلطان، واعتذر بأن المال انتهب وتفرق في هذه الوقائع، فقبل عذره. وسأل منطاش قاضي القضاة صدر الدين المناوي الشافعي، وكان ولاه قضاء القضاة قبل تاريخه بمدة يسيرة بعد عزل ناصر الدين ابن بنت الميلق، وقال له: أقرضني مال الأيتام، وكانت إذ ذاك أموالاً كثيرة، فامتنع المناوي من ذلك، ووعظه، فلم يؤثر فيه الوعظ، وختم على جميع مال الأيتام
Summary
791 AH, 15/11
The account of all these events came to Minṭāsh on Dhu l-Qaʿda 15. He was in great consternation when he heard it, and began preparations for al-malik al-Manṣūr Ḥājjī to journey to Syria and make war upon al-Ẓāhir. He accordingly ordered Vizier Muwaffaq al-Dīn to prepare whatever the sultan might need; but the vizier found nothing in the treasuries or armories with which to equip him, and made the plea that all the money had been taken away and expended in the course of the preceding events. Minṭāsh, accepting his excuses, made a request of the chief shafiite cadi, Ṣadr al-Dīn al-Munāwī (whom he had shortly before appointed to the position after the removal of Nāṣir al-Dīn ibn Bint al-Maylaq), saying to him: “Lend me the money held in trust for orphans”; at that time this amounted to a considerable sum. Al-Munāwī, however, refused to comply and admonished Minṭāsh to refrain from his purpose. Unmoved by his admonition Minṭāsh had all the orphans’ funds sealed up.
